Drain Pump Assembly - GE GLDT690T Technical Service Manual

Drain Pump Assembly

The drain pump assembly is located under the tub
and operates on 120 VAC. It is energized for the fi rst
60 seconds of a new cycle and 90 seconds after the
wash pump shuts down to remove any water in the
dishwasher sump. The drain pump forces water out
of the drain line. A check valve fl apper on the drain
pump prevents the dirty water from reentering the
sump.
The drain pump has an approximate resistance
value of 24 .
Operation of the drain pump assembly can be
checked by using the service test mode. (See
